Well I am 31 and not getting younger. I have been overweight for the last 12 years. Once my son was born I still ate for two people. Leading up to my current weight which was 408. I started my diet on Sat 10-4-08 and I am very serious about this. I have health issues HTN, Asthma and DM runs in the family. I do have support of friends and my husband so thats a wonderful thing. My goal is to reach 226 but small goal first.
